Your final resting place

February 15, 2012

So, it's been in the news that Whitney Houston's family has been disputing where she should be laid to rest. Initially, part of her family thought that she should be laid to rest in NJ, where she was born and grew up. Others thought that she should be buried in Atlanta, where her home is and where she established her adult life.

When I heard about this, it got me thinking.

I know that when my Grandfather told my mom that he wanted to be buried in Indiana, where he is from and where his parents and siblings are buried, my mom was crushed. She wanted him to be buried in Atlanta, so that she could visit his grave site.

No one likes to think about dying or the death of a loved one. However, if you could choose your final resting place, would you choose where you were born and grew up or where you established your life throughout your adulthood?

    Why doesn't the ATM want my card?

    Summary:  Over the past few weeks I've noticed a change to the ATM I visit on West Broad in front of Five Guys. It's a Bank of America ATM and the main reason I like it is because there is only a $2 fee to use it.   Over the past few weeks I've noticed a change to the ATM I visit on West Broad in front of Five Guys. It's a Bank of America ATM and the main reason I like it is because there is only a $2 fee to use it. The last few times I visited the ATM, I put my card in the slot and the ATM immediatley gave me the card back.  I was a little alarmed at first and tried to put the card back in but the screen prompted me to input my PIN number instead. I was able to complete my transaction but it threw me out of my comfort zone. read more
